MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING, OCT. 3. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Our Market continues improving. We have to- day had a very fair business, both in Yarns and Goods, and ht fully 'equia, and in some vases' even better, prices than on Saturday last. The holders and spin ners of Cotton Yarns seem to he determined on a further advance , in this article ; and, indeed, the almost daily increase in the price of Cotton, renders such an advance necessary, iu order to save the spinner from actual loss. Mills that have for some time been doing nothing, tut now gradually beginning to work, and are thereby giving employment to many persons that have been long entirely without work. Piece Goods have been sold very freely to-day, both for the home and foreign markets. PASCO PERUVIAN MINING SCHEME. Yesterday a Meeting of the Shareholders in this Scheme was held at the City of Londiin Tavern. ' Sir A. CithiniCioN„ tin. Cliairman, in introducing the Report, said the Direetors had deemed it their duty to se , _ count for the whole of the property entrusted to them. - ' - The Report regretted the .Silenee of Mr. Heath, their CommisSioner in Peru, but they conjectured that it arose from indisposition. The Report proceeded to state that it had beert deemed advisable' to drop Solite of the and that the propriety of adopting these engagements, at a fume time had'been referred to the company's agents on the spot: Mr. Quiros, with Mr. Fleteher. Mr. Holland, the attorney and representative of Mr. COchran,had entered, on behalf of the Company, into an engagement for some Mines, on a lease of fifteen years certain, at the annual rent of 55,000 dollars, and with an advanee of 250,000' dollars, 011..stecount of this rent. ThiS last condition, for the ad- Nance of 250,000 dollars, was in direct violation of the 6eonditions sent out last year, and the directors, by the - /t , vice of their solicitor, had declined to accept the bills drawn for that sum, and ‘' have transmitted to Lima theis protein agaieSt all thin consequences of this unauthorised act. Mr. Cochran .arrived in London before any Answers cold .be received from Mr. Heath. They found that Mr. Cochran's valuation of the mines *mounted to ,442,000 dollars, instead of 1,000,0p0, - mihich F , /;been, .as the •mininiurit value of the pro perty, but incorrectly as it appeared, in consequence of Mr. Cochran having been himself misinformed on the sub ject." The accounts were otherwise 'very favourable., The Directora had long since sent out directions to reduce the expenditure of the Company to the lowest scale that • a due protection of its interests would allow. • The 'eport then stated that the sum received On 10,000 shares amounted to 113,837/, 10s. and 408/. 18s, 6d. interest, and that the . expenditure amounted' to 110,911/. Ss. 3d, leaving a balance in hand of 3,3344 10s. 3d. A provision for the payment of • 22/7101. must im mediately be made fur which purpose it would' be inCerautry to make a thrther call for an instalment of V. per share, unless the whole of the third ihstainierit should immediately tie paid up, and then a call 'of 21.105. per share w ind be sufficient. The whole amount of the cash a d v weed in Perufincluding a sum of 19,2104 amongst the ? resent claims on the CoMpany) was 74,2404 The Go vernment duties had been lowered froM 1.14 to 8 percent. 'Die Report in conclusion stated, that unless the instal. manta were paid up, the undertaking must eventually fall. The Report was approved, and ordered to be printed. A SuitttuoLVEtt wished to luiow what would be the sum likely to Ve required for going on with the mines. Th e of any more money might depend upon the answer. The Secretary stated, that, the sum required would be and 'he was utalei'atckid to add, that no more would ever be required. Mr. CH n isTv said bars of the precious metal might be 'eipeeted in six months ; and after some discussion, reso lutions in i aceordance with the views of the Directors, were , • curried. •. • Among the passengers who arrives' on Sunday se'imight, in the packet-ship Corinthian ' was Stephen Price, EST, manager of the New York theatre,' and the present lessee of Drury-ltme.—American Paper. IMPORTANT IMPRoVEM EN TINT ENA vv.---On Thursday all the Naval Captains of the ships at Ports mouth assembled on board his Majesty ship Galatea, at Spithead, to insitect the working of her boat guns (carronades) which had been fitted by Lieut. Fiala hart, H.N. on his new plan, with springs, to do away the necessity of tackles, and consequently the labour of ,running the guns out. The pinnaces of the Galatea and Pyramus' had their guns mounted, the former according to the present invention, the latter on the usual plan. At a signal given, both boats OM in,:-:ived tiring together, and continued to do so for a b ou t :our mtnutes and a Buff, during vvhieli time the p yrumns ' s oinnace fired eight rounds, to do which the men 'were dbliged to lay in the three foremost oars on eac h s id e' w hOst the Galatea's boat fired thirteen rounds, and the men ILA 110 occasion to lay in more than one oar on each side. The advantages of Lieut. vv Balahan's plan, therefore, as 'most evidently proved, especially also as the boat can pull and work the guns at the same time. Besides, the gun recoils so easily, that during the thirteen rounds that were fired, it did not once come back to the breeching, so that any boat capable of bearing the weight of a gun may have one mounted, and fire it as often,as may be wished, without the least risk of either shaking or straining the boat. Moreover, the machinery is so very simple, that it can be taken oD replaced in two minutes, and, when off, the gin' is the same as any other. The inopecting offieers were unanimous in approving atlas important improvement ire naval gunnery.

We received last night the Paris Papers of Monday, and the Etoile dated Tuesday morning. The Journal des Debats, in article dated Madrid, Sept. 21, announces that the revolt of the Royalist Volunteers of Murcia, has been imitated by other cot*, at Tarasona, Penescola, and Valladolid. The Canon OSTALARZA, who is styled " the exterminat ing Angel," is said to be the' director' of the disturb ances in Murcia. It is mentioned in the same, article, that M. DE GOURZA has not set out for Portugal, but has returned to the Court. The health of FERDI NAND l has improved, and he is going to pass some time in the Escurial. It is said to be rumoured in Paris, that the Re public of Hayti will not be able to pay the remainder of the promised indemnity : and various surmises are mentioned as to the course which M. nt VILLELX 11 ill, uuder eircumstanceB, be obliged to adopt. While some aeromita state that, the recent colitia- gration in Constantinople destroyed 25,000 houttei, others, and more probable reportr„ etaitnate the num ber at 3,000. As it is saidthat 400 per , ,olis only perished in the disorders eonseqL.,nt on tin., fire, it is not likely that its extent was so universal in the city as described in the former of these statements. The accounts from Greece in the Etoile, furnish but little, new intelligence, but the following letter from Corfu, contains some interesting particulars ; and the correspondence which has taken place between the Austrian Ad►niral in the Levant, and the Pri►pates of Hydra, with his suh , ,equent proceedings, the account of which we extract fro►n Galignani's Messenger, afford a striking contrast with the conduct of the British Naval Officer in those seas, who, hi carrying into ex . ecutwn rigorous measures against the Greek pirates, did not avail himself of the pi ctext of claiming in denmity for acts of piracy, to raise a forced loan on the inhabitants of the unfortunate Islands in the Gre their convoys, pillaging their cargoes, and confiscating the' ammunition arid other articles used in warfare with which the said vessels may be laden. The Greek armed vessels must have regular papers to demonstrate the uprightness of their intentions. They 'may, however, confiscate any Austrian vessel - which,lraving a lading of objects ,prObi liited in time of war, seeks to deceive the vigilance of the Greek forces which forM the blockade of any port. His Majesty the Emperor, from the height of his august throne condescends to cast a look of compassion on the Greeks, and is pleased not to place them in the same category as the Neapolitans, the Piedtnontese,and the Spaniards ; but neither does he forget that he is the father of his people, and that it is for him to secure their prosperity. ' The un dersigned makes known that he is ready to face every kind of danger to execute the will of his Master, and hopes that this hunt will be taken into consideration by you." T. this letter the Primates of Hydra returned the fOl lowing answer:-- " Monsieur the Commander--A Greek Government established at Napoli di Romania, is charged to provide for the wants of our mition, to represent it towards the Christian Powers, and to reply to all the grievances that . foreigners may have to allege. Thus, Sir, we cannot satisfy your demand by a poSitive reply ; we, neverthe less,. hasten to acquaint you, that your letter has , been sent to the Governinent, and that the answer ran reach you solely through that medium. " - We have the honour, &c. THE PRIMATES OP HYDRA." Admiral Paulucci lied 'scarcely received this answer, when he proceeded to Tinos; and, finding five Greek yes sels,rtwo of which were conveying the Commissioners of the Government, charged to raise a for ce d l o an upon all the Isles of the Archipelago, he compelled the Commis, sioners to quit the two vessels, which he seized, assigning, as the sole motive, that he had received orders to put down piracy. The Greek Government never ' had the intention of protecting pirates; on the contrary, it expressed its us sent to all the vigorous measures that Commodore Hamil ton and Admiral de Bigny exercised upon these brigands. But to see an Austrian Admiral affect insolent contempt for all the acts which emanate from its legal authority ; to suffer the vessel of Lelechos and that of Cyriacos, citizens rendered respectable by.their patriotism and devotedness to the success of the common, cause, to be shamefully dragged along by the boat of the Bellona, like the mystics of pirates, is to push forbearance to its utmost trial. M. Paulucci, by this glorious exploit, has no other aim than to paralyse the naval .forces of Greece; to impede more and more, by obstacles of ever' kind, the already difficult, march of the affairs of Greece, and, in the meanwhile, to enable the Capitan Paella to take advantage of the unfor tunate situation of Greece, for affording again tp Christian Europe the heart-rending spectacle, of Seio, Ipsara, and Cassos. If the Emperor of Austria's- compassion only serves to deprive us of our, vessels, and expose us to the sabre of the barbarians, we thank him for his magnanimous sentiments. At least, Greece, converted into one vast tomb, will force posterity to sab " The Greeks fought for their existence, their God, and liberty. The Govern ments conspired against them, some by indifference, and others'by their cruelty, and the nations of Europe could only let tears of pity and admiration flow at the sight of the courage and sufferings of, this unfortunate nation."— T,' And files Lois.

Accounts have been received from Batavia to the 17th of June, by which it appears that the war with the Natives continues. The rebels are generally dis persed in the actions which take place, but cannot be subdued. The sickness at Groningen still exists to a frightful degree, though the number of deaths was 13 less in the last than in the preceding week. It is stated from the Maine, in these Papers, did,. her Majesty the Dowager Queen of WURTEMBUIU., and her sister the Landgravine of HESSE Holm Hullo, have remitted considerable sums to England for the relief of the suffering Manufacturers. It is gratifying to see that these English Princesses, though separated from their native Country, feel for the privations under which some of their countrymen are suffering. American Papers, to the Bth September inclusive, reached town last night. Their contents are unim- portant, and generally uninteresting. The reports which we mentioned of the intended marriage of the iIIUStriOUS BOLIVAR prove to be cor rect. it is positively stated that the PRESIDENT is to be united to Miss AUGUSTA ,lIART, of Saybrook, Connecticut. Mention is made of several instances of dispute be. ;weer the Captains of the United, States vessels and he Local Authorities of the Mexican Government: We subjoin a few extracts from these Papers BosroN, SEPT. 7.—At a large and respectable Meeting held at Boston on Thursday evening last, John 0, Dyer, Esq. in the chair, the following resolution, among other proceedings, was passed, and a committee of correspond ence and Other measures adopted to Carry the • resolution into effect. Resolved—That we deem the election of Andrew Jack son to the next. Presidency essential to the best interest of we and that will our country ; leave no fair and honour able means untried, individually and collectively, to elevate him to that responsible office. Thus, we see, that both in the cradle of the revolution and at the birth-place of American independence, the cam paign for General Jackson as the next President has been publicly opened in the most animated spirit, and with the most sanguine and well-grounded hopes of success. Commodore Porter arrived at Vera Cruz on the 2:ld of July, to assume the command of the Mexican navy. MURDER OP AN AMERICAN CONSUL.—The following letter from a gentleman to his father in this city, dated Bogota, 19th of July, gives the particulars of the murder of Mr. Fudger, the America consul for the port of Santa Martha:— regret I have to inf orm With feelings of the d e epest you of the death of our mutual friend, J. H. EkFudger, Es+, the American consul, who was most inhumanly murdered in hitown bed ou the night of the 13th instant. He was stabbed through the heart with his own sword; his throat cut from ear to ea r, and his trunks titl e d of their contents. Several p ersons are in prison on suspicion; but our police is so defectiv e , that I am afraid the perpetrators will escape. His funeral took place the following day, and was attended by a large concourse of citizens and foreigners,. Tin inhabitants of B ogota s i n cerely m ourn his losa, an d regret that, their city has become the scene of so foul deed. als ( ti i 4 9 o r v i er tiv ri s m o t e o lit leas nlareoo given e q 4 : l :trs o and Sr. Ravenga, secretary of foreign affairs, is particularly active on the occasion. An address, signed by several hundreds of the most re spectable inhabitants, has been handed to the Governnsent, expressing their grief at so horrid a transaction. SPLENDID MARRIAGE CONTRACT.—It was a matter of considerable surprise that President Bolivar remained so long at Lima, after the object of his patriotic visit was ac complished ; but it is now if we may credit a report in one of the morning papers, happily explained. The illus trious Liberator was detained by the silken cords of love, and actually employed in exchanging vows of enduring at': fection, and forming a marriage covenant with one of our republican beauties from Connecticut. Letters from Lima state that the deliverer of South America has entered into a marriage contract with Miss 'Augusta Hart, of Saybrook, (Connecticut), sister of the lady of Commodore Hull, and sister of the lady of the Hon.Heman Allen, our Minister to Chili. Miss Hart is one of seven sisters, all beautiful and accomplished. If this be true, it is the greatest match (as they say in Connecticut) ever known in this or that country. \Va hope his Excellency will come to the United States and consummate the contract by marriage at Saybrook in the good old republican way.—New York Statennan. (From the Baltimore Gazette.) LATEST FROM COLOMMA.—By the schooner, Antelope, arrived here this morning, 16 days from La Guayra, we have received from our attentive correspondents, papers to the 10th, and private advices to.the 13th of August inclusive. The subjoined extract shows that the revolu tion of Peer is still progressing, and there is It probability that the Government will be compelled to adopt prema turely the federative system, as dictated by its partizans : LA GUAYRA, AUGUST I.l—To the Editor—sir—Since I last wrote you per Alisanna, nothing new has transpired in this place, The Colombian schooner Independencia arrived here this morning in two days from Porto Cabello with the news of Maracaibo and Carthagena, having openly declared in favour of the federative system, as wished for by Paez ; it is therefore supposed by many, that the Govern ment of Bogota will:now see the necessity of adopting the measure. Business, except in bread, stuffs, and salt provisions, is extremely dull, and money scarce. We subjoin further extracts from New York Papers, received at the North and South American Coffee- House : The Editor of the Bogota Conitilucional, in his Paper of the 13th July, holds this language fact, the pro ject of Paez has completely failed; not one of the commis sioners despatched by him to the different Authorities in Venezuela, we heard, have been received favourably; on the contrary, many of them proceeded with a commission from the parties to' whoni they were sent, either to the Government here or to Peru. The most favourable intel ligence hat been received from Maracaibo, Margaretta, Margarine, Guayana, BarcelOna, and Cumuna. The con trary faction, on the other hand, studiously dissemble their views,--j-to one party they preach federalism, to the other they giye hopes of a monarchy, . Mexican Papers to the 12th ult. hive been received at Baltimore. The Editor of the Star mentions the arrival of Commodore Porter at Vera Cruz, on the 23d My, to take the command of the Mexican Navy, and says he hopes that the-neglect and apathy which have been hitherto con spicuous in this branch of the service will now cease. A proposition appears in the Mexican Papers, by F. de Paulo Tamariz, to establish a commercial company to trade to Asia and the Pacific, under the name of the Asiatic Mexi can Company;, and Monterrey, the capital of Upper Cali fornia, is mentioned as the best situation for the promo tion of the objects of the CoMpany. Judge Van Ness, after filling the office of District Judge for the Southern District of New York for fourteen years, with the greatest credit and highest respect by all parties, died suddenly, wipotit a momentary illness or say up parent pain, on thtath of Septentber, in the 49th year of his age. The Tapperhelen, 74 gun ship, , under Swedish colours, had been actually sold (after ; having been bought in) foi 30,.500 dollars. Lieut. Thomas Turner, R.N., command ing his Majesty's packet the 'Wellingtpn, died at New York On Sunday the 3d September, after a short illness his corpse was followed to the grave by the British Consul, and a number of English and other residents of New York, with every possible mark of respect. The Mohawk Marine Insurance Company was about to,bi dissolved, in conse quence of heavy losses and inadequate premium—isolemn warning to underwriters. A meeting of the Stockholders of the Company had been held" at Washington Hall, to hear the report of their Committee. The meeting ended, by recommending the Company 'tO be dissolved, and that application 'should be made to the Legislature for that pur pose next Session. By an arrival at BOtoll'iiom Pond, Porto Rico, we learn that about the 22d of July an in tended insurrection among the Blacks, near that place, had been discovered, and the principal leader's apprehended. It appears that their plan was to go in 'the ; night to time doors of the white inhabitants, as they passed on the road to Pond, and give the alerm of fire, and, as th.: white people came out of their houses, to murder them. They intended, the better' to carry their plan into effect, and to draW the whites out, 16 set fire to some of the estates nearest to Pond, and' then rush into the place and get pos. ! session of the arsenal, arm themadves, and destroy all the whites. , They were discovered by a black slave, who informed his master. The, authorities had taken up. and examined a great many slaves, and had found 24 of the principal leaders, who, it was supposed, would be con ' demned to death on the arrival 'of - , the Captain-General from the city of Porto Rico, who was daily expected. Alexandria Paper.' I Philadelp Marine Papers hiace Insu gi ra v n ea a demn h i e ty Mutual ternn Company,et of t . inLo il :do ln n; by which it aears, that, from' the 4th August, 1821, to the . '3lst ,of D ecember, .1825, they effected insurances to the amount •of 13,000,0001. The premiums were 272,0004; and. settlements had taken place to the amount of 228,0004 giving a' balance of 43 t . 2001 • front which are to be deducted expences, about 14,0004 leaving 29,2004 against 700,9004 risks, outstanding to the 3lst Dec. I*, and to make good all claims for averages and 'returns an 12,300,0004 run Quit; the whole deposited ca pi , tai to carry on this immense undertaking, is 05,850/. The Editor then makes the folloWing pithy remarks on this Company, and others of a similar nature. .. • MARINE INSURANCES. If those'eoncerned, both as insured and insurers, will peruse the statement of the affairs of a large Insurance Company in Lon don, published in our Saturday's Gazette, together with the fel lowing paragraphs from the New York American of the same date, they will see the necessity of making the premiums more adequate to the risk than has latterly been One the cam in the com mercial cities of the United States., party cannot suffer without seriously affecting in the end the interests of the other ; the losses of the under. mentioned must ultimately recoil on the lessened " Marine insurance has been, for some time past, a very losing business. Competition has reduced the premium below * fair , equivalent ; and impunity' in several cases, has lessened the risk, and therefore increased the frequency, of defrauding the under writers by premeditated shipwrecks. From these cases great losses have been sustained, without adequate receipts to meet them. Several companies in Salem had determined to raise the premiums l o write at all. The Caine thing was, we believe or not to un derwrite , without full success. • tempted here, but . It is, however, for the' interest o f all parties, in all pursuits, that every undertaking should have i t , Adequate and appropriate compensation.' If the Under writer i* bound down, by an insufficient premium for the risk he wow* to guarantee, the insured party just loses in proporti* his security of being indemnified in case of loss. The business insuring, to be worth following, is one that, like all others, should support' itself. The receipts for premium., should be equal. to the expenees of management, and the average of losses. A capital, indeed, is requisite to inspire confidence, in cases of unusual losses and deficient premiums, but the ftind that should pay all claims, is that derived from the premiums. Now, it must be clear to every one who will acquaint himself with the rates of insurance that have prevailed litre, 41:14 in the cities along the sestkviudi for a year or two past, that they are scarcely equal to the ordinary sea, risk, to say nothing of extraordinary storms, accidents by light ning, barratry, or knavery of the master or owners. When our produce bore a high price, the great value and amount of • peoperty insured, and consequently the large receipts from pre miums, rendered the tlisproportion between the compensation and the risk incurred less striking • but now that cotton, tobacco, and flour are so low, premiums have immediately fallen off in amount without rising in rates, and exhibit very clearly the littleness of the fund that guarantees. It is not for us to suggest any remedy for such a state of things ; those more immediately interested should do that. As, however, it is pretty certain, to judge from the pre sent value of marine stocks, that unlesi prethiums are raised, the companies must leave off business, it would seem the interest of insured and insurers, that a revision and augmentation of the rates should take place. if this be done with the general concurrence of the offices, and with reasonable discretion, it would be sustained by their customers." As every circumstance relating to the expedition under the command of Captain FRANKLIN, possesses interest, we subjoin the extract of a letter from one of the party—although it. certainly contains but little : " FORT FRANKLIN , G REAT BEAR LAKE, NOV. 5, 1825. " Our first essay has been attended with unlooked-for success, and has had the effect of making. us m ore sangn.ine than we otherwise should have been as to the completion of the ultimate object. We are all in excellent health and spirits, and snug in our winter's establishment, which is dig nifiedwith the appellation of afort, and n am ed after ourworthy leader. It was to have been called Fort Reliance, but we found there were so many of the Company's posts called by ' names closely bordering on this, that Doctor Richardson changed its title before we arrived.

This same Veli-Bey had received letters from his brother, dated from the Ottoman camp at Athens, stating that a serious mortality had pre veiled in the troops of the Semskier since the battle which took Ogee in that city; that two Greek Captains had en tered into the Citadel ; but that it appeared that their troops were not numerous. After the reiterated and fruit less attempts which Karaiskaki made for penetrating into that place and reinforcing the garrison. Two Tartars have Just arrived from Constantinople with two finnan*, one of which decrees that all Mussulniono shall hereafter bear neither gold nor silver upon his arms or clothing. The other finnan is relative to the proceedings of Month Balm, who is now residing at Missolonghi, and who is appointed Volissi Tractile. There are strong reasons for believing that the Seraskier has received orders to quit Attica, and go to Janina, to reorganize the regular troops; and they calculated on being able to assemble fifty thou sand men in that province. '[here have arrived at these islands, within the last six weeks, about 160 women and children belonging to the slaves of the Turks, who were brought here by the inhabitants of Prevesa, and a merchant. from Corfu, named. Jerostothi, a correspondent of the Greek Committee at Paris and Berlin. The slaves were purchased from the Turks at the price of from 3QO to 3000 l'uritish piastres a-head. A Committee has been formed under the auspices of the Government, for the purpose of supporting them. Young Marina, who had been taken and made "a !Ave in the Murea, after the death of his fa ther,.who was killed at the siege of Missolonghi, was ran somed at IVlodou European officer, by paying 5, 000 piastres.
